Christine Crockett from Toronto. My health has improved tenfold in the last year thanks to Youngevity!!! Since I was a kid, I had leg cramps, bells palsy in my early 20’s, chronic back pain, sciatica twice & progressively brittle hair. Evidently low in calcium, I’ve been on 2 scoops of the Beyond Osteo powder for almost a year @ 170 lbs. I’ve since tried to increase my dose but it creates soft stools & more importantly my kidneys have been acting up for several years. I’ve tried virtually every remedy including the Good herbs kidney support and Super KB for several months. When I stop the KB, the kidneys act up again. I believe the Osteo could be triggering the kidney flare ups. If so, how long could it take for any calcification to dissolve 100% and based on my long history do you feel this could be the reason for the kidney issues? I’ve had candida too and wonder if a calcium deficiency could also play a role in that?

Question : Hi Dr. Glidden. I got information on my Hemoglobin numbers going low being a possible result of consumption of Metformin over time. I have replaced it with 1500 Mg of Berberine.

I just wanted your thoughts on my consumption of Berberine. Thx.

Hi Dr. Glidden, Do you know of any herbs / minerals / vitamins that can help down regulate progesterone, just after ovulation, OR up regulate natural estrogen during that period in order to bring the balance between the two closer together? This is the time frame when most of us feel the standard symptoms.. Breast tenderness, bloating, water retention, fatigue, constipation and general discomfort (no wonder we get a little moody!). Many supplements for PMS contain substances that seem to increase estrogen by containing “estrogen like” substances (like black cohash etc).. rather than substances that encourage increased production of your natural estrogen. Is there anything extra (aside from the HSP + EFA and plantmins, all organic foods and filtered water) that could be taken during those few days after ovulation where progesterone is at its highest, to help even the balance out a bit?

Started 1oz beets again. Ordered bottles of Circulation for mom and she can't use now. Could I use Circulation instead of Projoba Hepal?

Question : Yo Dr. G! Can you recommend a good book to start with to get a handle on which Homeopathic remedy would be indicated for specific conditions?

Question : Is there any way to balance the Omega 6 in egg yolks with another food or supplement?
